She's dead serious about shit like that. She's a bad take machine but her posts are usually dull. I'm hoping she gives me more unintentionally funny stuff though.

They have back at brunch mindset and users there tend to block everybody who doesn't agree with them so echo chamber comments aren't unusual. Yesterday was weird because there was a buzz about "government accounts" and that it was paramount that people "Do not interact with them! Block!" My plan was to ignore the bruhaha because Bluesky drama is so stupid and silly. But pretty soon I had to know what was going on.

I checked my political feeds. Luckily the drama was easy to understand. The Trump administration created two (or more?) brand-new official government accounts. The White House and the State Department and perhaps more. Each account made a couple of bland posts: "We are here for honest debate" type stuff. And - of course - there were surely some rightwing trolls that came over to Bluesky to be racist and hateful or at least annoying. But that's all.

And now for at least days the libs will be talking on and on and on about how they don't care what The White House and the State Department say! Not at all! Uh, huh. I see your point and this isn't high school level drama 'cause you're totally not thinking about them at all. That's why there's post after post about this. "Repost if you have more followers than The White House!"

Edit

I just saw this "We're Gonna Win the Posting Wars" post.

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

I can't block posts like that from my main feeds because the poster only uses pronouns.
